She asks me why I'm crying
and I say it's because I miss you.

How can she not see that?

She tells me that the bird that flew into the house
was tied to her own symbolic death.

She gave up what she knew
but she still hasn't given up control
and so the world pushes her
and pushes her,

the house floods,
she breaks her toe,
she says it was pointing straight up to the ceiling,
she stepped on glass,
she doesn't sleep
and she doesn't sleep,

she calls me,
cries to me,
she misses the dogs
and she is angry because she doesn't understand,
but I don't understand either or at least  in ways she would want to hear,

I tell her I am here for her,
I tell her that I will never judge,
I wish I could make things ok,
but I can't fix this
and I can't make anything any better,

I can only listen and tell her I miss you
when she asks me why I am crying.
I can't change what has happened. I don't think I'm not supposed to.
